- Ben Cartwright: Well, Adam, you thought these boys would have a lot of trouble bringing that bull up here, huh?
- Adam Cartwright: I guess I was wrong, Pa.
- [Turns to his brothers]
- Adam Cartwright: You sure you didn't have any trouble?
- Eric 'Hoss' Cartwright: Not a bit.
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Well, a little bit. Like... uh... wh-when Big Red almost got cut up into steaks by those Indians.
- Adam Cartwright: Indians?
- Eric 'Hoss' Cartwright: Yeah, but that never would've happened except Little Joe was busy fighting a duel.
- Adam Cartwright: Duel?
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Otherwise, I would have had to get married.
- Adam Cartwright: Married?
- Joseph 'Little Joe' Cartwright: Yeah, but th-that was right after Hoss fought the bear.
- Adam Cartwright: Bear?
- Eric 'Hoss' Cartwright: Ah, that wasn't nothing. You ought to have seen how Little Joe gunned down them two bushwhackers that tried to steal our $15,000.00.
- Adam Cartwright: Now, just a minute. Who you trying to kid?
- Ben Cartwright: [Looking at the bull] It's certainly a lot of bull.
- Adam Cartwright: [Looks at his father, then walks away from his brothers] Yes sir, it sure is.
